GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded

wiring system. If it should malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a safe path of least

resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of

electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper

connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of

electrical shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service person if you aren’t

sure if the outlet is properly grounded.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. This appliance

is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt

circuit, and has a grounding attachment

plug that looks like the plug in the

drawing above. Make certain that the

appliance is connected to an outlet

having the same configuration as the

plug. No plug adapter should be used with

this appliance.

This model is for household uses only.

Getting ready continued

grounded outlet as described in the Important Safety Instructions, on page 2.

4. The ready light will illuminate when the Steam Mop is ready for use.

NOTE: During the first use it may take several seconds for the Steam Mop to begin

steaming. The water needs to flow through the filter to the heater. The delay will only

occur during initial use or when using a new filter.

Operation

Tip:

Do not attempt to use your Steam Mop without water

in the tank.

Cleaning hard floors

Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile, laminate, marble, stone and sealed

hard wood floors. Use of your Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in diminished

glossiness. On surfaces that have been treated with wax, the wax may be removed by the heat and steam

action. Do not use on unsealed wood floors or let unit stand on any wood floor for an extended period of

time. This could cause the wood grain to rise. When using on peel-and-stick vinyl, linoleum or any other

heat sensitive floors, use extra caution. Too much heat can melt down glue in the flooring. For best results

test in an inconspicuous area and check the care instructions from your flooring manufacturer.

1. When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning by passing over surface while pressing

trigger to emit steam.

2. To sanitize an area of your floor, place the center of the Steam Mop over the spot for a

minimum 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds.

3. When the Steam Mop stops emitting steam, simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue

cleaning.

Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models only)

This accessory is recommended for the refreshing of

carpets. Once the steam mop is cradled in the carpet

refresher attachment, it will easily glide over the carpet.

NOTE: Always be sure a mop pad is in place

before placing in carpet refresher attachment. It is

recommended that only white mop pads be used with

the carpet attachment. Do not use carpet attachment

on spots or stains, or glide it over the same spot for

longer than 20 seconds.

1. Attach the mop pad to the swivel mop head. As

directed in step 1 on page 4.

2. Place the swivel mop head, with mop pad attached, in

the carpet refresher attachment.

Note: that the Steam Mop rests in the carpet refresher

attachment and may not stay attached to the swivel mop

head. It is meant to glide over the carpet.

3. Fill the water tank with water. Begin refreshing your

carpet or rug by pushing the Steam Mop in a forward

and backward motion, releasing steam as you go.

CAUTION:

Never put descaling,

alcoholic, or deter-

gent products into

the steam cleaner,

as this may damage

it or make it unsafe

for use.

Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models only) continued

When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet

or rug.

NOTE: Move the Steam Mop and carpet refresher attachment in a continuous motion until you are

finished. This product is not intended to be used as a carpet cleaner, only a carpet refresher or

deodorizer. Never attempt to use the Steam Mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment

in place. DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position.

Replacing the water filter

If you fill your Steam Mop cleaner with normal tap water, it is essential to check the water filter and replace

it when it is no longer effective. Change the filter when the bright green grains turn blue. If the filter is not

changed at the appropriate time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the heating element, causing dam

age or reduced performance. Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the performance

of your filter.

When you're done

1. Unplug power cord from outlet.

2. Carefully remove mop pad from swivel mop head,

as mop pad and lower assembly will be hot.

3. Any water remaining in the water tank should be emptied

prior to machine storage.

4. Mop pad can be machine washed in warm water. Use only

liquid detergants. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, For

best results, air dry.

5. Wrap power cord around quick release cord wrap.

6. Wipe all surfaces of Steam Mop with a soft cloth. Store

upright in a protected, dry area.
